The Wifes Story Ursula Le Guin

The Wifes point Ursula Le GuinUrsula Le Guin reveals us in The Wifes Story, ab come to the fore a charwo man who meets a man who would later become her maintain and father to her children. This horizontal surface has a great twist on what the werewolf and human perspective. Told from the married womans view, it shows her do for her husband and children. As time goes on she notices something different about her husband. Having to admit between the two of her rages, she bequeath deem to make a decisiveness of whether to save her husband or her children.Ursula Le Guin depart show us how our minds can be trick into believing what we perceive. Many time our views will be predetermined before we gather all the facts. Often times siding to what we hold to be right or wrong, well be fixd or evil. After reading this story and gathering all the facts, it is amazing on how fast we switch our thoughts on which side we emphasize with. Not solo will the readers allegiances that be p ut to the test but also the wifes. finished the telling of this story she will manipulate our tomographys. She will lend us to the complete opposite of what we are thinking. It will not be until the terminate that we prevail out we have been tricked. Being told from the wifes view, we sympathize with the wife. She will lead us into believing that her husband is cursed and is changing, that this once good and kind man is turning evil and is going to be a risk of infection to her and her childrenAfter watching the way the he interacts with his mother and work outing with the children, she finds him to be a kind and gentle man. Anyone that nice must be expense knowing (Le Guin, 2012, p 29). He always seemed to be happy, never in a foul mood. This is what would eventually lead her to fall in love with him. The wife describes him as a good husband and a good father (Le Guin, 2012, p 29). Being a young and hard prole he was look up to by the community. This is a recipe for the a ccurate man for her. During the first year of their marriage, life was wonderful for them.Soon we will start to see changes from him. As their life goes on, she starts to describe strange conduct from him. He would start waking up during the night. Unable to sleep, he would tell her he was going off to hunt. After these trips he seemed to be different, banal and worn. This good natured man would be terse and short, not wanting to chew up about where or what he was doing. His wife would also know that on that point was a scent to him that could not be washed away, It would be in his hair and in our bed for days (Le Guin, 2012, p 30).This starts to give us the idea that the wife is starting to be concerned about what is happing to her husband.Le Guin gives us clues as to what this behavior stems from. Giving us key talking to she leads us to intend that this man is turning into a beast. The curse comes from his fathers personal line of credit and it only happens in the dark of t he moon (Le Guin, 2012, pp. 29, 30). She also tells us the he is not from around these parts, a stranger here with no ties to the community. there is very little known about his true background. Le Guin was mensurable to not give to many details about how the story would turn. She lets the readers imagination take them where they lead themselves too. This would give us a realization as we find out how our own thoughts and preconceptions can betray us.The wifes suspicions start to grow, on with our own. When the youngest of the children seemingly just overnight (Le Guin, 2012, p 30), starts to fear her father, we have a sense that that the wife is not the only one who notices these changes. The father tries to play the fear of the child off as a bad dream. The wife still does not want to believe what she feels, admonishes the baby for her bad behavior. We select now, that he knows there is something terribly wrong with him. He is either in denial or does not want his family and c ommunity to find out the truth. As she states that he kept away that whole dayprobably sensing the starting the dark of the moon (Le Guin, 2010, p 30) Not only do we believe that the wife is in danger but, now also the whole family. As most of us probably have seen a werewolf photographic film or more, recognize what dangers may lay ahead. Now that Le Guin has our gratify peaked, she will push our own thoughts even farther against us.Now that Le Guin has our full attention. She will reveal the truth of the story. The wife would wake up during the night to find that he husband is not in bed. He has once again wakened up and left. Hearing a noise she could no longer bare it (Le Guin, 2012, p 30), she goes to investigate what is going on. The wife sees her husband sitting outside. Her fears hold her in place as she starts to witness his transformation. His feet are getting longer with toes, as he starts to turn fleshy snow-cladlosing his hair to become smooth skinned, his ears disa ppear and his eyes turn grisly and white rimmedthen standing on two legs (Le Guin, 2012, p 30). He has change into a human man. All along we have been thinking he was human and was cursed to be a werewolf. We find that the story was being told from the werewolves point of view. The wife finally sees for herself that he has been cursed, My full love, turned into the hateful one (Le Guin, 2012, p 30).We know that the wife and werewolf community have dealt with human men before. The man thing looked around. It had no gun, like the ones from the man places do. I knew the man would kill our children if it could (Le Guin, 2012, pp. 30, 31). We get that the wolves have been hunted down before and killed by her reaction. She fears for her childrens lives even though the man in unarmed. She starts howling, alerting others of her kind. They would chase down the man and kill him.
